Teachers
To present this in-class safety education
program from The Love & Safety Club, you need to purchase the song, The
Bullies On The School Ground for $1.99 and download the accompanying coloring
page. Both can be found in the left hand menu of this
page. Print off enough coloring pages for every child in your classroom. You
will also need a flip chart or, if you prefer, a classroom whiteboard or
chalkboard.
The Presentation
The presentation begins by asking the children to listen to the song you are
about to play for them, and to pay attention to the words and the message in the
song. Please note that the four questions below are suggestions only. Teachers
and presenters can choose to ask any questions they feel are appropriate and
that might generate responses and a positive discussion.
- Ask the children what the song was about
- What was the question that was asked in the song?
- What did the singer say that we could do about bullies?
- What other things do you think we could do about bullies?
On the flip chart, make a list of all the responses given by the children
concerning what can be done about bullies.
The Coloring Page
Play the song again while passing out the coloring pages. When you look at
the coloring page you will notice that the three children, along with the sun in
the sky have distinct expressions on their faces. Before the coloring
begins, (or after if you prefer) ask the children to look at the bully's face,
and to describe his expression. Have them look at the faces of the little boy,
little girl and the sun in the sky. Have them describe their expressions as
well.
Closing Questions
When the coloring exercise is completed and all children have settled back to
their seats engage them in a
discussion about bullies. Ask them what they have learned from the lesson. Ask
the children if they have any bully stories. Let them speak.
